There are far more unhealthy, poorly breed tradition colored yorkies out there. I wonder if what they are saying on blue might be completely false as well. I do not know though because I have never talked to anybody who had one. I can tell you I have a friend who breeds blue Shar-Pei and the exact same thing was said about them at one time. Guess what, it turned out to be untrue. |
Whether it is a good article or not is opinion...Genetics are different for different breeds..such as...The genetic markers for the same diseases will be different for different breeds...Although often times when a new color of dog is bred from a genetic defect for the breed often times genetic diseases are brought out by those breedings....Ex...White Dalmations (deafness)...
To make matters worse...The gene pool is very concentrated when you only have 4 known gold/white partis to breed from...It will take many generations to determine the health outlook of this new color combination!
